Fly rod blank identification help

Last night someone gave me a half dozen fly blanks assorted lenghts. They have no brand name only stickers at the blank base with GSF an GSL suffix at the begining. Anyone know what they are? They are a deep dark brown color. (Fenwick?)

I don't think they're Fenwicks. The HMG designations for fly and spinning were GFL and GSP. But I only have a couple of the older Fenwick catalogs here. Maybe somebody else will be familiar with those model prefixes.

Thanks Tom,
I have a feeling the GSP blank could very well be a spinning blank. It's 7'6" and the butt is much larger in dia.than most fly blanks I see and the taper is very steep to the tip. All are 2 peice. If anything I'll size them an build them. Have a wonderful holiday season.
